LOV is well known for its stunning picturesque decor and delicious organic plant-based menu. With their BBQ jackfruit burgers and creamy kale mac and cheese, this chic bistro with several locations illustrates that vegan food can also be flavour-packed comfort food. While everything on their menu is vegan, there’s no shortage of rich, cheesy goodness: LOV’s homemade nut-based cheese is addicting to even a non-vegan. Anyone for vegan poutine?

Conceria opened its doors in the Spring of 2022. Located on Notre Dame street in St-Henri, Conceria is a plant-based Italian restaurant with an excellent selection of (mostly) vegan wines and cocktails. Some of its menu highlights include Arancini al Funghi, Pappardelle con Pesto d’Aneto, and Risotto di Poro. With its casual yet classy ambience, Conceria is a great spot for a date night.

Located on Prince Arthur, Maynard is one of the best vegan comfort food restaurants in Montreal. Maynard’s menu consists of vegan alternatives to nostalgic comfort foods like fried pickles, mac & cheez, burgers, fried chicken made from shiitake mushrooms, and of course, their classic vegan poutine. According to Montreal’s thriving online vegan community, Maynard serves the best vegan poutine in town. Many restaurants will use vegan cheese shreds in their poutine, but Maynard uses Vegcheese, the most authentic vegan cheese curd out there.

With two locations around Montreal, Lola Rosa never disappoints. Their menu largely consists of satisfying comfort foods like nachos, crispy cauliflower, specialty burgers, chorizo burritos, and rich curry.

You can find Lola Rosa in the McGill Ghetto on Milton Street and in the heart of Place Des Arts.
